    I have Rice and Lynch in a 10 team league. I'll probably end up regretting passing on Mcfadden.

    All I have is Spiller on the bench. I might end up dropping David Wilson :eek:

    Any sleepers at RB that might be available or roll with Spiller if Lynch doesn't play? TIA (will rep :p)

    Get Turbin if Lynch doesn't play. Don't drop Wilson.

    I just wanted to brag a little about being able to snag both Foster and McFadden in a 12-team league. Carry on.

    I may have mentioned this more than once but I'm high on Dwyer being a big time sleeper.

    Redman is gonna be oft injured this season and I honestly don't think Mendenhall will play anytime soon.

    I've learned it always helps to have as many RBs on your roster as you can. 2nd tier WR turnover year to year is high, while RBs are scarce and injuries make them even more in demand.

    Wilson shouldn't be cut, but if you want someone who should be contributing from the start and more as the season progresses, get Jaquizz Rogers if he's out there. Any of the Shanahandcuffs too. Zierlein believes Washington is a top tier running game waiting to happen, and probably all 4 of them are going to worth a slot at some point in the season. Other guys are pretty much waiting-in-the-wings types like Wilson: Stewart, Pead, Jennings, Alex Green, M.Bush, Thomas, Hillman.

    There's lots of positive words about a few third stringers too: Tanner, Taiwan Jones, Powell/Ganaway, Snelling, Brinkley, LS Howling.

    Rashad Jennings, MJD, Isaac Redmen, Toby Gerhart

    I have #1 priority over everyone (been holding onto this since our draft last month) should I use it and take a chance on Ogletree? Or save it for some time in the season where it could really come in handy?

    I feel like Ogletree will become this year's Laurent Robinson and you know how Romo loves him some #3 receivers.

    Mendenhall just practiced. He will probably be back in 2-3 weeks.

    I like Dwyer too, but its looks like a three way split in terms of touches for the first couple of weeks.

    I have Winslow as my backup TE (my weakest position by far) and Jared Cook is my starter. Should I chance it and hold on to Winslow to see if he gets picked up, or should I try to pick up Dallas Clark, Ed Dickson, Kendricks, Dreesen, Ben Watson, Moeaki/Boss, among others? PPR league

    Was thinking to see if I could swing Randall Cobb for Greg Olsen, but I'm not sure if the owner would bite or not.

    That is a crap position to be in for PPR man. Try and get Olsen if he is a backup. Otherwise take a chance on Dickson over Winslow.

    I don't get why everyone is drafting/holding Kellen Winslow just eating up roster space (16 slots total I would assume) as a back up.

    Dude just got cut by the Seahawks who desperately need help at the receiver/tight end positions... that says a lot.

    Now he's with the Patriots with the beavy of receivers at tight ends they have. I say drop him and pick up a well worth it sleeper at WR/RB.

    You can pick up any of those TEs you mentioned throughout the season if desperation comes forth.

    We have 19 roster slots, and NE hasn't sign him (yet).
    I may try and swing a Greg Olsen trade, but I'll be on sleeper watch, that's for sure.

    He'll be back...but what's he going to be like? Hard to believe he'll really be in top form before their bye.


    Starters >>>>> Non starter with "potential"

    The Patriots signed Hoomanakimuia or whatever his name is. I'm pretty sure they are planning to field an entire team of TEs at some point.

    In case no one's mentioned it already, get rid of Winslow. :)

    They have Daniel Fells as well. The TE revolution is upon us.
